On Saturday 5 April, Oliver Lee Jackson will be in conversation with author and curator Ekow Eshun at Lisson Gallery to celebrate 'Intimacies', his first ever solo show in London.
For his inaugural exhibition with Lisson Gallery, Oliver Lee Jackson presents a selection of new paintings produced over the past year. The American artist, based in Oakland, California, creates energetic fields of abstract marks that occasionally coalesce into floating forms approaching figuration. These ‘paint people’ can be glimpsed in groups or as individuals in various poses – crouched, huddled, seated, perhaps even flying – appearing in either very few brushstrokes or as indicators of spatial dynamics, sometimes accompanied by flowers, birds, hats or shoes.
Saturday 5 April, 10.30am at 27 Bell Street, London, NW1 5BY
